Engenia® herbicide (dicamba) is a new herbicide being developed for broadleaf weed control in dicamba-tolerant crops with federal registration expected in early 2016.  Engenia herbicide will provide excellent control of more than 100 annual broadleaf weeds, including many herbicide-resistant weed species.  In addition to excellent weed control, Engenia herbicide will offer excellent crop safety and low-volatility characteristics for improved on-target application.  Research trials conducted across the cotton belt conducted in 2015 continue to demonstrate to the utility of incorporating Engenia herbicide into a weed control program for soybeans and cotton.
